About

Weihao Zheng is a leading researcher in the field of flexible electronics, with a focus on developing advanced sensors for human-machine interfaces (HMI), electronic skins (E-skin), and soft robotics. His work addresses critical challenges in wearable technology, particularly the need for sensors that maintain accuracy under mechanical deformation. Zheng’s most impactful contributions include the creation of a flexible tensile strain-pressure sensor with off-axis deformation-insensitivity (79 citations), a dual-mode capacitive sensor enabling proximity-tactile interfaces and wireless perception (47 citations), and a bending- and stretching-insensitive, crosstalk-free pressure sensor array for HMI applications (45 citations). He has also developed a flexible pressure sensor with a wide linear sensing range (33 citations) and a gas-permeable, resilient bowtie antenna for tensile strain and temperature sensing (17 citations). Collectively, his work has garnered over 220 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing reliable, multifunctional flexible sensors. Zheng’s innovations in crosstalk-free arrays and wireless sensing are particularly notable, positioning him as a key contributor to next-generation wearable and robotic systems.
